Lisandro Martinez, a defender for Manchester United, should have been sent off for tackling Cole Palmer during Chelsea’s draw at Old Trafford, according to Enzo Maresca.

Maresca believed Martinez should have received a straight red card, but referee Robert Jones only gave Martinez a booking for catching Palmer above the knee with his studs in the 93rd minute.

We are currently waiting because Palmer was in the changing room with ice. “Hopefully, it’s nothing significant,” the Chelsea manager remarked.”I am aware that you will question me regarding the referee’s ruling.” The referee is there to make a decision, and he made a different one, even though it is very obvious to practically everyone.

There is no question about the choice when you go for the player, for the legs, without intending to go for the ball. I believe it’s quite obvious that it’s red.Ruud van Nistelrooy, United’s interim manager, downplayed the event, stating: “I haven’t seen it as fair.” On the touchline, I saw it. I didn’t perceive it as red at the time.

After Moises Caicedo volleyed Chelsea’s equalizer to score just his second goal since joining from Brighton for £115 million last year, Maresca paid tribute to the player.

“Moi is doing fantastic since we arrived,” he continued. “The club paid a lot of money, so people always expect them to be the best, but they are human beings,” I stated during the week regarding Moi and Enzo (Fernandez). We are making an effort to spend time with Moi, who is becoming much better.

“One plus one is not two in football most of the time.” Since he was sold at Brighton, he will perform at Chelsea to the same level as he did there. However, he must adjust.One of the biggest clubs in the world is Chelsea. It takes some time and requires effort, but now he is demonstrating his abilities.

Although Van Nistelrooy acknowledged that he has not yet spoken with new head coach Ruben Amorim, he reaffirmed his intention to remain at United after his tenure as interim manager is up.

“There is nothing planned at this time, and I haven’t spoken to him,” the Dutchman stated. “I’m doing my job to get ready for Sunday (Leicester) and Thursday (Salonika).”

“I’m excited to learn more about him.” He has performed admirably in Portugal. He will be eager to assist the team in its future as a young, gifted coach.
